Hi everyone. I am writing this to save my recovery. I need some help with getting phone numbers or should I say using them. I will start with this, when I got clean this time I got rid of all my using friends, and the only thing wrong with that is I was left with no one. So now for the past 2 years in my recovery I have not had anyone to talk to, exept for a womens group I go to once a week. Don't get me wrong I go to meetings I just don't talk to anyone at them. I speak at the podium but then I leave without any numbers. I think fear is a big part I think if I get hooked up with someone they may relapse and take me with them. I had a sponser with 25 years and I lost her(she descided she wanted one more drink or drug). Anyone know how I can overcome this fear? I am doing so well in my life and don't intend to lose it but I feel I need to comunicate more with other recovering addicts. I have severe trust issues.Please help ........Thanks Much!!!!! These boards are a great help.
